On Summer Solstice, 2014, I had the honor of speaking to a remarkable group at the Body, Mind, Spirit Expo in Tampa, Florida.  My topic each year is "Awakening Our Awareness" and each year the audience grows in numbers and in awareness.  The expansion and growth is truly amazing to witness and is a testimonial to our collective global transformation.

As a planet, we have galactic alignments and energy firing our codes, affecting our DNA.   We are becoming lighter and more available to information in other dimensions and from our Higher Self.   The expanded light reveals to us our shadows and gives us the opportunity to release, let go and change.   More and more, we are realizing that we are a bridge to each other and the world around us.   The world responds to our input.

Some messages are worth repeating and this is one.   We are awakening to our Highest Truth: that we are worth the Love that is within us, the Love that defines us and the Love that expresses through us.  The Light has been turned on and turned up to the highest frequency at this point in time.   This Light is illuminating the shadows for processing and healing within us individually and within the global community.   As we stand in our Light and allow it to shine brightly, we strengthen our collective illumination and the darkness fades.

Your piece of the puzzle is becoming more evident to you each day as your self worth and self respect is growing in intensity leaving behind the old paradigm of fear.   The heart center is expanding to express greater amounts of compassion, kindness and love.  The intuitive/psychic center is expanding to perceive greater insights.  The physical body is increasing its need for higher quality nourishment to feed and fuel our ever changing cells.

With all these changes comes sensitivity.  The psychic/intuitive body is closely aligned with our emotional body and that increases our emotional sensitivity.   This is why we often feel moody, off balance, spacey, sleepy, overwhelmed, irritated or impatient.   The vessel that you are is expanding to become a larger vessel for the flow of information.   Each stage of expansion requires us to adjust ourselves so that we remain open to further expansion.

Here are some simple guidelines to support this expansion:

• Breathe deeply for release and energy.   Breath is life and affects our vitality and willingness to be alive in our body.

• Stay hydrated.  Drink plenty of good quality water as water bathes our cells and is part of our energy management.

• Eat wholesome, healthy foods rich in nutrients that are life sustaining (not life robbing).

• Connect with nature for balance.   Enjoy the beauty of plants, trees, water, sky and the symphony of sounds produced by birds, bees, cicadas, frogs, crickets and so many more.  Nature is our tuning fork and our grounding rod.

• Meditate to relax the mind and explore your inner space through quiet listening and stillness.

• Create healthy boundaries by clearing unbalanced energy.   Sometimes we are exposed to dense, heavy or negative energy in people or the environment.  You can manage the energy you process through your body by using this affirming technique:

  "I release and let go all unbalanced energy, to be neutralized.

  I choose to be centered, balanced and grounded in my body and being".

  This affirmation does not judge the psychic energy as good or bad, right or wrong.   It does create a boundary that says you are not willing to process all the energy through your body.

• Use grounding techniques to utilize the energy of the Earth.  Grounding is important to our health, vitality, sense of safety and well being.  We are Earthing the Light.

  Place your attention on your feet and imagine roots extending deep into the belly of Mother Earth. Breathe the earth energy up through your feet through each chakra to above the crown. Then reverse it by bringing in the Universal Life force down through each chakra to the feet and into the Earth.

• Keep a notebook of impressions and insights to gather clarity including dreams, as they are great messengers.  Much information is downloaded when we are asleep and open to spirit.

• Avoid negative people and environments when possible to minimize the absorption of unbalanced energy. Remember your boundaries.

• Follow your hunches and let them teach you to trust them.

• Let us all remember to trust that we are loved, supported and guided in our development.   Our personal, divine plan is unfolding perfectly.

As we collectively awaken to higher levels of consciousness throughout humanity, we become more open to compassion.   The tendency to look for and focus on differences begins to diminish.   It is a process that for some moves quickly and for others more slowly.  Each one has his or her own pace within this process.  When we reach a point of recognizing this, living by example becomes a great teacher.

Most of you who are reading this are humanitarian by nature, caring for others and life on this Earth.   

Many of you are in service to life through holistic avenues of livelihood.

Many of you have grown through the teachings of others by way of books, seminars, gatherings, channellings, and knowing each other.

Many of you have grown through letting go, releasing the old outdated ways.

Many of you have grown through meditation, spiritual questing, inner exploration and discovery.  

Many of you are vastly different from yourself of yesterday and yesteryear.

Many of you have grown weary, tired and disenchanted in this world of challenges.

Some of you are ready to complete this lifetime and return home.

Deep within the core of self is that inner voice that reminds you and me of our faith, our courage, our fortitude and our choice to be here now.  We are a tribe of Light weavers, here on purpose.

The universe is an abundant place filled with many avenues of renewal and rejuvenation.   For everyone who is a giver of healing, counsel and guidance, remember to give to yourself for renewal.   It is paramount to be dedicated to clearing and grounding for the body to have optimal health and vitality.  Often times, the champion givers must learn to be receivers, to be balanced.  Often times, the perpetual receivers must learn to be givers, to be balanced.  The dance of giving and receiving is part of our growth.

This process of awakening our awareness invites us all to fully express the gift that we each are.   It is timely now to celebrate who we are as significant contributors to Life on this planet and beyond.  We are here on purpose to awaken our Light and to express the Love that is the Truth of our Being.

Within the core of our being is a very, very bright Light.   A Light that illuminates the dark even when it is a flicker.  A Light that illuminates Life when it is unleashed and given the freedom to expand beyond any limitation.   A Light that represents all that is of Peace, Love, Compassion and Goodness.  A Light that has your signature, your name, your calling and your brilliance.  

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
